ZetaTalk: 2 Camps
Note: written Feb 15, 1998.

As the years leading up to the pole shift pass, a dichotomy of attitudes will develop among those with the capacity to examine the facts. By far the larger segment of
humanity will be too busy to notice, as their lives are filled with desperation as it is. Those who have the time to ponder issues and access to the news will fall into
two camps.

Those who are courageous and have a logical mind will note the holes in the explanations they are given, discarding Global Warming explanations when they
can see that satellites are recording colder air masses and warmer oceans, and discarding Sun Spot explanations when they find their instruments working as
before. These individuals will note that with increasing cohesiveness the facts point to an approaching pole shift, and that the only explanation that fits that is a
wandering planet making a periodic passage. Thus, a certain percentage of the earth's populace will become aware and allow themselves to contemplate the
situations, regardless of what story the establishment tries to feed them. This percentage will increase sharply in the weeks leading into the pole shift.

A far larger group will hear the facts and discard them, with any number of excuses. As the time of the shift nears and the facts even more impelling, they will
become more shrill, refusing to deal with the facts or even contemplate them, but rather attacking the messengers. At the same time, these individuals will
increasingly cling to what seems to make them secure, whether this be more solid stocks and bonds, more material items, or increasing the use of religious
rituals in the hopes that a God will save them. Where their sense of doom is not relieved in this manner, these individuals may turn to drugs and alcohol, sex,
distraction in adventure or exhausting sports, or living in the fantasy world that the movies or soap operas on TV provide.

These camps will not be able to communicate with each other, and will find increasingly that they ignore each other. The first camp will find kindred souls to discuss
the issues and formulate solutions, dropping the endless arguments that ensue when those in denial are pressed with the facts. The second camp will ridicule the
first, as their sober talk and laying out of facts only tends to make them anxious. The two camps will come together only during the last week, when the rotation
stops and the constant presence of a reddish object in the sky, rapidly enlarging as the days pass, has made talk of the end of the world a daily conversation. At
this point, the first camp will find the second at their doorstep, demanding to be taken in.
